Yield: 16

Ingredients

4 oz Cream Cheese
1/4 Cup Butter unsalted
2 Cups Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Tbsp Milk

Steps

While the cookies are cooling, add the cream cheese and butter to a clean bowl for the stand mixer. Use the paddle attachment and mix at medium-low speed for about 5 minutes, until the mixture starts to get fluffy.
Add in the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, fully incorporating into the cream cheese and butter. With the last batch of sugar, add in the vanilla bean paste and half the milk, and mix thoroughly. Add more milk as needed until the frosting has peaks that curl over slightly.
